Valentine's Day

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." I John 4:7-8

I was looking for a good verse to accompany the Valentines pictures, but really, I could include the entire book of First John. Here are a few more verses penned by the apostle John under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit...John who knew Jesus personally, walked with Him closely, and experienced the love of God.

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God. And that is what we are!" I John 3:1

"Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love another. No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us."          I John 4:11-12

"We love because He first loved us. If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.  And He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."  I John 4: 19-21

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." I John 3:18

"And this is his command: to believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded us."  I John 3:23

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."  I John 4:16
